I made a simple free-standing shelf for my basement this weekend. That in itself is a feat. I am not mechanically or construction minded. My projects usually take 2-3 times as long as they should, more trips to the local hardware or lumber store than expected, and the product almost never turns out like the [...]
I can’t remember how many times I’ve had to talk a manager through a tough discussion with an employee.
